The honest bottom line
Pixieset Studio Manager has a free plan; its combined Suite starts at $28/month billed annually. Pixta starts at $9/month billed monthly. Pixta is deliberately narrower. It does not currently match every automation, integration, mobile, migration, or commerce feature listed above. Its advantage is a focused photographer workflow with professional gallery delivery at the center.
